RESOLUTION NO. 84-04

A RESOLUTION RENAMING POPLAR AVENUE TO POPLAR DRIVE LOCATED BETWEEN LOREY DRIVE AND LILAC LANE

Recitals.

The renaming of the public right-of-way known as Poplar Avenue to Poplar Drive is at the request of the existing eleven property owners. Residents expressed concern when it was discovered that all their present pertinent documents and postal delivery service did not agree with the original subdivision plat or Mesa County records. The street name change is proposed for the street segment running north and south from Lorey Drive to just north of Lilac Lane. The Community Development Department would notify all residents of the timing of the proposed change and neighborhood support has been expressed.

Section 6.2.B.3.5 states that existing streets and roads not conforming or inconsistent to the addressing system shall be made conforming as the opportunity occurs. The benefit derived by the community would be that all existing properties within this neighborhood would have the same address as their personal documents and delivery/emergency services. The proposed name change will not impact adjacent land uses or neighborhood stability or character.

The proposal is in conformance with the Growth Plan and requirements of the Zoning and Development Code.

Neighborhood residents and the Community Development Department have requested that the City Council rename the right-of-way known as Poplar Avenue to Poplar Drive.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:

That the name of Poplar Avenue, as described in this resolution is hereby changed to Poplar Drive.

ADOPTED AND APPROVED THIS 15th day of September, 2004.
